Mon, 23 Oct 2017 04:21:45 +0000http://www.tailwheelersjournal.com/?p=4607#comment-3272I think your approach to life, which your son acquired, is right on. ’tain’t easy balancing everyone’s needs and our own, I can say with AUTHORITY!!! But I spent this weekend with my Oregon-born Mustang Appaloosa at a really cool horse-focused event called Cracker Day and had a blast so I’m starting to come around…

Sun, 22 Oct 2017 17:34:14 +0000http://www.tailwheelersjournal.com/?p=4607#comment-3268A few thoughts come to mind having lived a lifestyle in my youth a little like Hooper’s – motorcycle racing, ski patrolling, raft guiding, and a handful of other adventure sports when I wasn’t working as a machinist to meet my financial obligations to do those things. People have different levels of drive for work and challenges as well as varying senses of satisfaction for the things they do. The man at the Victorville airplane cemetery may have been living the dream on the ragged edge of his reality.
It is fascinating to consider the fork in the road Hooper came to – the Army or frolicking in the Virgin Islands – and the dichotomy of how the two paths would have influenced his life. Clearly, going into the Army would not have been the best choice, considering Hoop’s affection for the water. The Navy would have been a better option, but how could that compete with hanging around scantily-clad women? Oh, and I suspect that many of the women in the Virgin Islands, aren’t.
